Fiber optics have been "too good for their own good," fueling an over-reliance on (wireless) cloud computing that now requires integrated photonics to relieve the increasing demands society makes of the technology. Can you think of another example where such a back-and-forth between a technology's capability and society's response has guided its evolution?

Cell phones

Explanation:

If we go back a few years in time, a little over 30 years actually, cell phones were not smart and you could only talk with them. Actually, they were so big and heavy, that you could use them as hammers also. Motorola's first cell phone was as big as a shoe box and weighted around 2.5 pounds. Back then cell phones were expensive and very few people used them.

Fast forward a few years and smaller cell phones appear and 2G technology arrives. You could use a cell phone to call or message someone else. As cell phones got cheaper, more and more people started to use them and companies like AT&T started to collapse and you couldn't get a decent signal anywhere.

But cell phones would continue to improve and 3G was developed in order to satisfy the growing number of consumers. AT&Ts signal was still terrible. Blackberry came and phones started to get smarter. But as cell phones got smarter, more people wanted them. Then came Steve Jobs with the iPhone and demand grew so much that all the companies' systems collapsed (now all were as bad as AT&T).

That led to the introduction of 4G technology, but even before 4G technology is available everywhere, 5G technology has been developed. Finally, 5G technology is available in all the US (this year AT&T managed to do so, although Verizon did it earlier). But in other countries, 5G technology is already becoming obsolete and 6G is soon to be the standard.

Our everyday use of smart devices has forced technological advances to speed up. It took about 15 years for 2G to arrive, and then it took about 10 for 3G to be available. But in less than 15 years other countries have gone from 3G to 6G (China has already launched its 6G satellites which will start providing that technology).

Suppose there are three types of consumers who attend concerts at your university’s performing arts center: students, staff, and faculty. each of these groups has a different willingness to pay for tickets; within each group, willingness to pay is identical. there is a fixed cost of $1,000 to put on a concert, but there are essentially no variable costs. for each concert: i. there are 140 students willing to pay $20. (ii) there are 200 staff members willing to pay $35. (iii) there are 100 faculty members willing to pay $50. a) if the performing arts center can charge only one price, what price should it charge? what are profits at this price? b) if the performing arts center can price discriminate and charge two prices, one for students and another for faculty/staff, what are its profits? c) if the performing arts center can perfectly price discriminate and charge students, staff, and faculty three separate prices, what are its profits?
